Official Sim Racing Thread

Odd, I tried enlarging that video and a Facebook button is right on top, can't hit it without going to FB.
Nice HDR! :thumbsup:

What's odd to me is that you see a FB button in the upper right and on top of the enlargement button. I see those links in upper left and the enlargement in lower right, using Firefox and Edge. I think Safari may be messing you with.

Also, not sure what you mean about HDR. I don't have HDR enabled in Windows nor any app.
 
Yeah, I'm on Safari/MBP, so that must be the issue.

At least on my MBP screen, an HDR video on, say, ewetube's home screen stands out like a sore thumb, and your video above has that same extreme brightness/darkness; hmmm.

You've got me curious. I think I'll stop by my office tomorrow and see if my Mac/Safari do the same thing you're seeing.
 
I thought some of you may enjoy this: some sim racing action in POV. This is a 5 lap sprint shootout with race prepped 3 series BMWs on the streets of Long Beach, CA.

What you're seeing is my hands, my steering wheel and my display. What you're hearing is in-game audio from rFactor 2 and the voices from an app called Crew Chief.

You have the coolest toys. And that looks AMAZING. Getting all that set up (PC, game, audio, app)...I think you might actually need a real crew chief! LMAO

You're not alone. I got some new pedals for Christmas too. So now I'm wondering if Dirt would like to upgrade to a set of used Fanatec's ClubSport V3 pedals. *hint hint*

You're pedal travel is normal. With my old set and with my new set as well, I'd be surprised if there was an inch of travel. I'm using the hardest elastomer and have them calibrated to their maximum of 65Kg. And yes, my left quad muscles ached for a couple of days after they arrived.

If you're referring to Next Level Racing's F-GT Lite seat, that happened to me too under very heavy braking. I recall having a fix for it that involved inverting the clips/clamps that attach the pedal portion to the seat portion and moving them closer together. I also recall that rendered the ability to fold it properly impossible.

You didn't tag me so I didn't see this...

This is...probably meaningless, but Fanatec may be acquired by Corsair

CORSAIR Pursuing an Acquisition of Fanatec, the Leading Brand for Sim Racing Hardware | CORSAIR Newsroom

MILPITAS, California – May 9, 2024 – CORSAIR® (Nasdaq: CRSR) announced today that it has entered exclusive negotiations to acquire sim racing specialist Endor AG, owners of the world famous Fanatec brand. CORSAIR has reached an agreement with Endor to fund its short-term cash needs while both...

I hope Fanatec can pull-out of their issues and remain viable. While I personally plan to move away from their ecosystem Fanatec because of their lagging product development and record of poor customer service ... until the last year or two they've been vital to building and growing the racing sim industry.

Towen,
Are those 27's or 32's? Just wondering cuz I bought two more 32's and I am researching stands. There is a company out of Montreal( Advanced Sim Racing) selling a triple mount for 399 CAD.

Those are 27"
I have a few Advanced Sim Racing bits on my setup too.
 
My Heusinkveld collection is now complete. Yeah, I know, they also make a rest pedal and a handbrake but I have no interest in either of those.

Upgraditis has reared its ugly head once again.

Got myself a new seat. A real seat.

So I may as well add a harness into the mix.

Won't be long now until I'm wearing a helmet while I sim race.

I have to ask, how much was the harness?
And...will it be a cheap helmet? Do you have one scoped out already?
